Premier Cannabis Distillation Equipment

Root Sciences specializes in commercial-scale short path cannabis distillation equipment for the cannabis industry. Our wiped film short path distillation systems refine cannabis and hemp concentrate into a top-grade distillate that can be infused into a variety of edible products or fine oils to be used in vape cartridges and tinctures.

In our cannabis distillation process, we take advantage of the melting points of cannabinoids. By using molecular separation, we can separate the THC from the terpenes, lipids, impurities, and solvents, leaving you with an odorless and clear golden distillate. The main advantage of using distillate is that it has a much higher potency than extracts or flowers and activates immediately after use.

Testimonials

In my experience working with Root Sciences, it has been great, to say the least! Whenever we have an issue with our VTA I can always email, text, or call a number of people that are available to help/walkthrough troubleshooting techniques to help fix an existing issue or to make the system the most efficient possible. I am very appreciative of the customer service that is provided by the team and hope to continue our relationship well into the future.

Root Science has been fantastic to work with. Our (VKL-70-5) is the most trouble-free piece of equipment that we have in our labs. Besides normal maintenance such as seals, washers, and gaskets it has never left us with a gap in our process. It is a pleasure to own such a quality piece of equipment!

In the cannabis and hemp industry, there are a lot of promises to juggle and opportunities to navigate with no certainty of what outcome may actually be. Root Sciences has delivered a system that not only does EXACTLY what it has been proposed to do but the support that follows in unparalleled quality and industry knowledge… The customer service is not only extremely knowledgeable but well-rounded in navigating this growing industry. They provide the highest quality equipment with a dedicated team to help the customer grow with the industry… and that is an invaluable combination.

I am jubilant to inform you that both systems have been running immaculately since your departure – you can tell an expert was at work… Very content with the service provided by Root Sciences.

Highly satisfied with the equipment, training experience, durability, and ease of use. Many thanks from my team to yours.

Best distillate system in the world.

My partner and I have built and run several labs over the past few years, and VTA’s are the only distillation units we recommend to our clients, simply based on our experience with them. So again, thank you!
